Agreed. Lots of land in this country.
I thought most on here are from the US and Europe/UK. I’m surprised at how many are in Canada or at least lived here at one point.
I’m in Prince George.

Hi all
Hockey is starting up. Great temptations will rise up.
I am on my 47th day and looking forward to my 48th. Strong enough to ressist the triggers I think.

Get yourself something bubbly and alcohol free - I love Perrier with lime. A nice big glass, a fresh lime, lots of ice cubes - it’s very refreshing

Hey StellaLuna,
Great words of advice. I too am going through my first summer of sobriety in many, many years. I’m feeling quite anxious about the upcoming weekend. I have to travel to the Island as my dad’s not well (not covid related) and there are several childhood friends that want to have a safe get together. I’m so torn because this is where my drinking career started and they all have the ability, so far as I know, to drink at a gathering then go about their lives sober. I desperately want to see these people though.
My wife is 11 1/2 years clean and I know I’ll have her support, but having your thoughts in my pocket will help too.
On the flip side, this will be my first real test so it will be interesting to see these people from a very different perspective.
Have a good, safe & clean BC day long weekend!
Island boy at heart.

Thank you, again, SL! You do have sage advice.
My whole time on this journey I’ve had to have something non-alcoholic in easy reach. Lol, I thought I’d be saving all this money but turns out juice and gatorade are really expensive when you drink gallons! I’m okay with that though!!!
Our get together will be an afternoon thing in the scorching heat of PA on the west side. I’m sincerely hoping that it doesn’t morph into an all nighter. As you say though, I’ll have a plan to remove myself after a bit and not engage in the getting loaded part. A small part of me wants to see that too though. Thru sober eyes and get a look at what I used to be like.
I have confidence in myself and the wife knows the struggle, so together we’ll get out if the judgment seems to be wavering.

Survived the Simcoe day holiday. Toronto moved into stage 3 on Friday. Great big temptations to meet up with my buddies for a romp. But sure enough, my sobriety was paramount so kept low and quiet.

Update. We attended the get together yesterday. I found it a bit of a challenge being around everyone drinking but stayed the course and I don’t really think anyone noticed that I wasn’t drinking alcohol. It was a great reunion and underlined for me how much I don’t need the drinks to have a good time. Something I wouldn’t have believed two months ago.
These new revelations are coming to me almost daily. I am do happy with my new life and the clarity that is coming with it!
